    which one of "EFI System Partition" and "Healthy Recovery partition" should I delete


    I recently deleted windows 10 that was installed in my HDD and I installed windows 11 on my SSD and if you look at the screenshot, the 122 GB deleted volume is where my windows 10 was installed and now I'm confused that should I delete "EFI System Partition" and "Healthy Recovery partition" there as well or notand second question I have is that can I add the 40 GB empty space in my SSD to my windows C Drive because there is something among them

    :)

    EFI SYSTEM PARTITION DELETE

    I updated to windows from windows 8.

    Now I am left with flwg :-

    260MB Healthy (EFI system Partition) Simple basic FAT

    128MB Healhy(Primary partition) Simple Basic RAW FAT

    This was with initial Windows 8 came with laptop. Could you please tell me if these 2 partitions need to be kept for the system or can be deleted and merged to another partition.

    Also how can we make a partition on hard disk like before which will contain its Recovery data and can be used in emergency

    Thanks in advance.

    which one of "EFI System Partition" and "Healthy Recovery partition" should I delete

    Healthy (EFI System Partition) and OEM Healthy Partition)

    The OEM partition should be the manufacturer’s recovery partition, removing this will mean you cannot use this to return to factory conditions. If you decide to remove it then make sure you create a system image backup using Macrium Reflect free & create
    their boot media beforehand:

    Reflect Free Edition

    I do not recommend deleting the EFI partition.
